Geometries
There are three types of geometry within 1Integrate: points, lines and areas.
Each can be defined in terms of its dimensions, and if it has an interior, exterior and boundary.
Geometry | Dimensions | Interior | Exterior | Boundary | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Point | 0 | A point is a 0-dimensional geometry that has an interior and an exterior, but no boundary. | |||
Line | 1 |
A line is a 1-dimensional geometry that has an interior, an exterior, and a boundary. |
|||
If the line is a closed ring, there is no boundary (as the boundary is at the end points of a line). |
|||||
Area | 2 | An area is a 2-dimensional geometry that has an interior, an exterior, and a boundary. |
Note: For multi-part geometries, the interior or boundary is the union of the interiors or boundaries of all parts.
